Over the last few years, the use of bedside ultrasonography and echocardiography has expanded both in trauma and ICU settings; surgeons, intensivists, and emergency care physicians have developed training protocols to facilitate the ability to detect free fluid in the abdomen with high sensitivity and specificity [6].
In the future, we will develop a normative dataset that displays the functional capabilities of a wide range of EPW users, which would then help us develop training protocols targeted towards specific motor, sensory, or cognitive impairments that affect driving skill which are identified by the PMST.
Now in the final stages of my VISTA project, after working with staff members, attending training sessions and conferences, developing training manuals, workshop materials, client triage protocols, procedures, surveys, outreach materials, and gaining the trust and appreciation of NeighborWorks Western Pennsylvania staff, I can say this: I am able; I can do; I have done; and I will do more.
The interviewers developed training materials which contained the data collection protocol, consent procedures and survey questions.
EAR, OV, ET and MH also contributed equally to this work: they developed the training protocol, trained the participants, and participated in the co-ordination.
VAS, AJD and JGB contributed equally to this work: they participated in the design, developed the training protocol, participated in the co-ordination, and drafted the manuscript.
To address these issues, the present study aimed to develop a training protocol of LSWp especially designed for older adults with mild-to-moderate levels of ID and to evaluate the effectiveness of LSW in this group of older adults on enhancing mood, socialization, and QOL from a quantitative perspective.
However, due to lack of standardized assessment tools, developing evidence based training protocols for EPW users to improve driving skills has been a challenge.
Therefore, there is an ongoing effort to design and develop more engaging training protocols.
Further multicenter studies are necessary to evaluate the psychometric properties of these tests and develop EPW driving training protocols based on these assessment tools.
